Ep 11. Chorizo Polenta Casserole

Guy's Big Bite season 11 episode 11, "Chorizo Polenta Casserole," is a mouth-watering culinary journey hosted by the one and only Guy Fieri. In this episode, Guy takes on the challenge of transforming a simple polenta dish into a gourmet casserole, with the help of some spicy chorizo.

Throughout the episode, Guy shares his expert tips and tricks on everything from how to cook polenta perfectly to how to add extra flavor and texture to the dish. He starts by preparing the polenta, which involves stirring cornmeal into boiling water until it thickens. Guy then adds butter and Parmesan cheese for extra richness and flavor.

Next up, Guy adds the star ingredient to his casserole: spicy chorizo. He sautés the chorizo pieces in a skillet until they are crispy and adds them to the polenta mixture. To balance out the spiciness of the chorizo, Guy also includes some sweet onions and peppers.

But that's not all- Guy is not satisfied with a standard casserole, so he adds some creamy ricotta cheese and mozzarella cheese to the mix, creating an ooey-gooey sauce that ties all the flavors together. He layers the cheesy polenta mixture in a baking dish and tops it off with some more shredded mozzarella and Parmesan cheese before baking it in the oven until it's bubbly and golden brown.

Throughout the episode, Guy also shares some ideas for how to switch up the recipe, such as using different types of sausage or adding in some fresh herbs. He emphasizes the importance of experimenting with flavors and textures to create your own unique take on the dish.

As always, Guy's enthusiasm and passion for cooking shines through in this episode. He encourages viewers to have fun in the kitchen and to not be afraid to try new things.
